A German Heils Hitler at the Opening Ceremony

Whats the big deal about heil hitler? Why does Britain sing God save the queen ,considering that the monarchy is responsible for hundreds of millions
to billions of deaths in India,China and the Middle East.

That man is Walther Troeger, honorary president of the German Olympic Committee.

He was the mayor of the Olympic village during the 1972 Olympic Games, when Palestinian terrorists entered the village and attacked the temporary
residence of the Israeli representatives, an action that became known as the "Munich
massacre", and he was part of the negotiation team and one of two people that were allowed to go to the occupied residence and see the
hostages' conditions.

Only just saw the video of this. It does look a little strange kind of wave considering Germany's history and the connotations associated with it. It
wasn't a normal kind of wave you would expect. well I've never waved at anyone like that.

You ask what I do with him. Let me ask you a question. A person "hails Hitler" - so what? Is this arm movement so dangerous, so vile that it makes
you unable to sleep? Aww. You're so cute. But don't worry, I've got a cure for you - stop being such a pain in the arse and mind your own business.
Or are you so socially conditioned, or more accurately programmed, by your rulers that you can not help but fall into a primitive rage or disgust,
like a computer when you see a certain sign it works as a signal and sets off a script?

There's a very good solution for solving the "hailing Hitler" etc - it's the same solution Morgan Freeman has for curing racism: stop talking
about it.

hmm olympic committee banning stuff from youtube even though its aired publicly.. stinks a little suspicious

No, YouTube is just enforcing their policy on copyrighted material.

Portuguese channel RTP is transmitting on the Internet the sports events, but yesterday, when I looked to see if they were transmitting the opening
ceremony, that had a message saying that, because of copyright reasons, they could not transmit that program on the Internet.

He used to Sieg Heil me on a daily basis...and this was when I was still wearing those little girl drawers from JC Penny with the multiple rows of
lace across the rear...he was a left-handed third or fourth generation descendant down from German immigrants...who was a two time enlisted man in the
Army and on his second tour was a sniper in WWII in the Pacific theater....he was orphaned very young so he was prime sniper material...a very proud
American man...but I can't remember which hand he used when he'd see me coming to his workshop in the garage...snap straight to attention, throw out
that arm all stiff and say HEIL HITLER...didn't laugh although he was for sure a jocular man...I remember thinking all the time...WTF? or at least
the 6 year old equivalent of WTF...because I'm not German...I was adopted and I'm Scotch Irish.

FFS. He is not Hieling, for one he is using his left hand. it is very obvious he is waving.

You know at time I feel the people using this site, are desperate to find conspiracy in anything. Seriously you should all go into the construction
industry, as you're experts at making mountains out of molehills!!!!
